Wales Italy match thread

[eirebilly]

First topic message reminder :

Afternoon all,

Well we are soon to kick off. I wish both sides the best of luck but secretly i will be hoping Wales win and go on to win the Slam .

[Pal Joey]

Women's match on later...

Sorry Cari! ... is Dreamer there? thought I saw a look-alike just to the right of halfway near the front?

I just think Wales should have scored a couple more tries but Italy's defence has been pretty tight most of the match and has been able to make all those tackles. Still 10 minutes to go though.

[Cadair Idris]

I could honestly say if I ever meet Mirco, he'd get one straight in the nose. The guy makes my blood boil. Same goes for the French Sevens scrum half.

+1 he is the most annoying player in world rugby

[eirebilly]

Good player Webb, very happy for him to get a start.

[Cari]

Linebreaker - no, she's back down West Wales I believe.

[Cari]

Have they forgotten about Leigh HP? Seems like a long binning....

[Shifty]

Surely the sin bin is over now, its been 13 minutes?

[eirebilly]

Ryan Jones kicking the ball away...

[Cari]

Webb!!! Obstruction

[Cari]

Hook on for 1/2p.

Wales need to score here.

[Casartelli]

Rhys Webb still playing like he's on Newbridge Fields for the Ath youth...

[Shifty]

Ouch 1/2p has been punished there.

[Morgannwg]

Clancy is too whistle happy.

[Cari]

Clancy will be off Jiffy's Xmas card list then...

[bsando]

Clancy will be off Jiffy's Xmas card list then...

and Bergamasco

[Casartelli]

Hook on for 1/2p.

Wales need to score here.

Should have been Hook instead of Priestland from kick off. Tbh.

[Morgannwg]

Ouch 1/2p has been punished there.

No idea what his yellow was for. Nor Priestlands in the England game. And they say the refs have been helping us out....

[Cadair Idris]

Why on earth is hook not being tried at 10? Priestland has been poor again. I feel for halfpenny here, parisse and his football antics made that a yellow card. He did the same against england.

[Cari]

GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN Cuffy!!!

[whocares]

Hope Charteris doesnt start next week...

[Pal Joey]

Cuthbert... he so deserved that try!

[eirebilly]

Great try by Cuthbert

Bit dodgy in the leadup though.

[Shifty]

Thank god for that!

[bsando]

Good try!! Cuthbert deserved that one, been really good all day.

[Cadair Idris]

Why on earth is hook not being tried at 10? Priestland has been poor again. I feel for halfpenny here, parisse and his football antics made that a yellow card. He did the same against england.

[Cari]

Balls. Nevermind lad. 24 - 3.

[Casartelli]

If Priestland plays against France they'll stick fifty on us.

[Cari]

Come on boys, send them home!!!

[Shifty]

That restart went 10?

[Cari]

Cuffy IS MOTM. Told you!

[eirebilly]

Well played Wales but it certainly wasnt the crunching that many people were thinking that it would be.

A much improved effort from Italy.

[mystiroakey]

certainly not a classic. but job done wales

[Biltong]

You have to give credit to Italy, they made this difficult for Wales

[Shifty]

21 point margin, 2 tries, not a bad evenings work to be honest.
Another try might of helped though, but then again at least it will focus Wales before France.

[TycroesOsprey]

Job done, I think their eyes were a little bit on next week really.

Clancy was annoying as hell for both sides.

[Cari]

Absolutely. Italy badly need a decent ten though.

Well done lads. I wish people would shut up about the GS though.

Oh god it's Jason Mohammed who's a complete knob!!!

[Morgannwg]

Eager to see France on sunday now, if they lose, they'll come to Cardiff and win.

Fair play to Italy, their defence was magnificent. Parrise's football antics were poor and Halfpenny was wrongly binned.

[mystiroakey]

21 point margin, 2 tries, not a bad evenings work to be honest.
Another try might of helped though, but then again at least it will focus Wales before France.

i think them stats are abit flattering lets be honest- italy did well out there, wales were not at there best. but winning games like that by 21 is testiment to em

[eirebilly]

Just how many tackles did Italy make in the end? Must be over 120 surely

[Cadair Idris]

If Priestland plays against France they'll stick fifty on us.

I can't see gatland changing for france, but priestland has really gone backwards as this 6 nations has gone on.

[Shifty]

Oh god it's Jason Mohammed who's a complete knob!!!

I thought you liked knobs?

[nobbled]

Job done by Wales. How the Italians kept up that tackle rate I'll never know.
Well done Wales.

[GavinDragon]

if every referee reffed with the same interpretation as clancy the game as a spectacle would die.....so frustrating

[Cari]

Someone needs to tell Cuffy the match has sold out next week already....

[eirebilly]

121 tackles

[Casartelli]

It would be tremendously funny if Cuthbert just punched Jason Mohammed in the face.

Then hit a front double biceps pose for the fans...

[eirebilly]

Oh god it's Jason Mohammed who's a complete knob!!!

I thought you liked knobs?

[Cymroglan]

Job done , The Italians played like a side who were focused on damage limitations.

[Shifty]

Job done by Wales. How the Italians kept up that tackle rate I'll never know.
Well done Wales.

I think the yellow card killed the big finish for Wales to be honest.

[Cari]

OH NO MY TV HAS FROZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh OK it's back.

[Shifty]

OH NO MY TV HAS FROZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
